It was also being conspired that they’re either from Australia or Germany.

The ‘Apparent’ Truth

According to BBC Urdu’s report, the German couple, yes, now we know, is on a mission to travel the world in their car. They reached Pakistan in April 2019 via Taftan border and have visited 11 countries so far.

The foreign couple Ovi Nigel and Dominika Maria Nigel arrived in Pakistan after travelling from Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran. Even in Pakistan, they have toured many cities including Quetta and Islamabad.

Ovi and Maria were on mission to go the neighboring country, India. However, due to some visa restrictions and then the arrival of COVID-19, the couple couldn’t reach there.

The latest updates suggest that their visa has expired but the German embassy in Islamabad is aware of the couple and is in contact with them trying to get them either to India or back to Germany.
